ELIZABETH — Two suspects in an Elizabeth carjacking face varied charges after leading police on a chase through Newark’s South Ward and into East Orange Tuesday night, causing minor injuries to an officer in a patrol car with which they collided, officials said today.

Denzel Dozier, 20, of Newark, and Omar Barrett, 29, of Irvington, were captured about a mile from the accident at Central Avenue and South Munn Street in East Orange when the BMW they had allegedly taken stopped running, Newark police spokesman Eugenio Gonzalez said.

The duo are charged with carjacking, aggravated assault and weapons charges, in addition to other charges.

On Monday night, a retired Essex County sheriff’s officer opened fire on a carjacker who took his Nissan Maxima in Newark’s North Ward.
